LeePenonefang: Just a heads up that I am removing some cruft from dak which will propagate /devuan on the mirrors.13:14
onefangSo that means less disk space needed by mirrors?13:14
LeePenProbably. Not sure how much though.13:16
golinuxI have started a pad to collect a list of new behaviors for inclusion in the Chimaera Release Notes: https://pad.dyne.org/code/#/2/code/edit/zrwXb4YnOlmO6fy2mPq4AsmR/21:49
fsmithred_mason: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=22455#p2245522:53
masonfsmithred_: Right, but that's talking about a higher level.22:54
masonfsmithred_: The root issue is that the cryptsetup teardown can't happen.22:55
masonAnyway, replied asking what you think about the crypttab idea.22:55
fsmithred_I guess I don't understand the problem. What is the result of no teardown?22:55
masonfsmithred_: No real impact.22:56
masonfsmithred_: It's just notionally unclean. BUt it's what all the patches amount to.22:56
masonThe issue we're patching is the recursive back-off as the system tries the teardown regardless of the fact that it can't succeed.22:57
fsmithred_yeah, that subject comes up from time to time.22:57
fsmithred_I think the hypothetical solution is to switch to initramfs on shutdown.22:57
fsmithred_at least that's a suggestion that's been floated22:58
masonRight, but shutdown-ramfs is more notional than otherwise. It *is* the right solution.22:58
fsmithred_I think that change is above my pay grade.22:58
masonI can implement it if you like it. What I want is an opinion. :)22:59
fsmithred_my opinion is to leave stuff alone if it works22:59
masonGotcha. It doesn't work which is why we're patching it, but that's enough directive for me to run with.22:59
fsmithred_only reason I got involved with the cryptsetup patch was to deal with the shutdown delay22:59
fsmithred_and that seems to be fixed upstream23:00
masonfor sysvinit? how so?23:03
fsmithred_there is no longer a shutdown delay with encrypted lvm23:03
fsmithred_I'll test encrypted root without lvm later23:04
masonAh, you're suggesting that what I see is probably user error?23:04
masonI mean, I see it every shutdown, and it matches the expected behaviour, but I guess I could be confused.23:04
fsmithred_you're seeing the delay in beowulf?23:04
masonNo, Chimaera. Beowulf you noted that we're shipping the patch in that modified package.23:04
masonWithout that package, I do see the breakage, which is why I was using my patch and a divert.23:05
fsmithred_well, you have to install the patch file manually.23:05
masonHow's that fixed upstream then? I don't understand.23:05
fsmithred_in chimaera23:05
masonIt's definitely not fixed in Chimaera, as noted.23:05
fsmithred_if you're seeing the problem in chimaera, I'd like to be able to reproduce it.23:05
masonWhat's it got to do with LVM, anyway?23:06
masonThe problem is in cryptsetup.23:06
fsmithred_there were two problems23:06
masonAh. I don't run LVM, so that one doesn't apply.23:06
fsmithred_delay with encrypted root and delay with lvm23:06
fsmithred_devujan provided the part that fixed lvm23:06
fsmithred_I don't recall who first suggested getting rid of the timeout loop23:07
fsmithred_(but I'm glad they did)23:07
masonDunno. That's what I've been doing anyway. It's the solution, so probably several of us hit it at once.23:07
fsmithred_as I said, I'll do an install without the lvm and see what happens.23:07
fsmithred_did you say you're using zfs with this?23:08
masonI've seen it elsewhere. All you need is LUKS under root.23:09
fsmithred_well, that's the next test23:09
fsmithred_and I just realized I used the wrong iso to test the grub-theme fix. :(23:14
golinuxOh-oh23:19
golinuxI don;t know how you keep all the moving parts straight . . .23:20
fsmithred_look at one thing at a time23:23
masonyar23:24
Centurion_DanHi!23:26
golinuxHello stranger23:27
fsmithred_hi23:27
Centurion_DanI got given a laptop to fix today.... one I haven't seen in a very long time.23:29
Centurion_DanApparently emails stopped working recently.... on the Linux side (it's dual boot Win10 and Linux)23:29
Centurion_DanIt's running Devuan Jessie.23:30
Centurion_DanWill it upgrade to Chimaera??23:31
fsmithred_maybe23:31
fsmithred_I think ascii to chimaera has been done23:31
fsmithred_or else it was jessie to beowulf23:31
Centurion_DanI'll step up to asciil and maybe do ascii to chimaera..23:49
golinuxThat might be the safest way23:50
fsmithred_no23:52
fsmithred_probablly will cause problems23:52
fsmithred_what's the version of eudev in ascii?23:52
golinuxOh I see that beowulf wan't in the line23:54
fsmithred_mason, I just did encrypted root install. Shutdown took three seconds.23:54
fsmithred_golinux are you running ascii?23:54
masonfsmithred_: I guess you'd accept a screenshot or something? I can take a photo so you'll believe it's still an issue?23:54
fsmithred_I don't disbelieve you23:55
fsmithred_I want to know what the difference is23:55
golinuxfsmithred_: You know I'm still on jessie that was installed by Centurion_Dan all those years ago.23:56
golinuxI am running ascii on the other machine but not touched it for almost 2 weeks23:56
golinuxI really don't like to have to rebuild my work environment23:57
fsmithred_ok, eudev is 3.2 in ascii. You're save.23:58
fsmithred_safe23:58
